Option 1: Closet Raiding Friends : Sometimes raiding a friend's closet is a great way to mix up your outfits. Maybe your friend shares your shoe size and has the perfect heel to match your dress.

Getting Red-dy for NoD

Hello my beauties,  I'm here today to speak to you about an issue near to my heart: red lipstick . No other look can compare to the longevity and universally flattering style (when executed correctly) of the red lip. While I prefer dramatic eyes with a more subtle lip, even I have to give it up for this classic.  When I heard NoD was Alice in Wonderland-themed (allegedly, because I have yet to see the official Facebook event and I think I'd be invited by now because I'm very popular), I immediately thought of all the crazy makeup in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Many students say they would wear makeup, but they don’t know where to start.  I figured sharing the order of application of makeup would b...
